The Coral Sands is perfect!

Everything is spotless at the Coral and it is the perfect affordable place to stay near the boardwalk in OCNJ. The manager, Greta Markova, is simply outstanding and will do everything possible to make your stay perfect. The rooms were renovated and modernized a few years ago and it’s better than ever!

Would stay again ! Cleaning lady was very nice!

Only complaint is the shower head looked like mold or mildew on the head of the shower , but everything else was great in the room! Front desk lady wasn’t friendly when we were leaving. But other than that I would definitely recommend this place and already having my grandparents booking there soon. The room was very clean !

The basics in a motel room. Double twin beds, mini fridge, microwave, tv and ac unit. The bathroom is a bit spacious and it was clean and ready when i checked in late afternoon. Parking is a bit tight but one can leave the vehicle ½ a block around the corner in a municipal lot. Check in was quick, there's a restaurant next door and the boardwalk is a block away. Dogs are welcomed with a fee. Enjoyed my stay in here.
